Recreating Camera and Lights in Maya

I'm sure the renderings will show how new I am to Maya. Trying to figure out how everything worked was pretty difficult..but here's the final result.

Here is the photograph

My badly rendered attempt to copy. I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to get the ambient lighting. 

I don't know how acceptable this is. I think I turned this image too far around and the light is really contrasty. Oh well...hopefully I can learn from my mistakes once I take Ani 51A.
